Guangya

Guangya

The "Guangya" (zh-cpw|c=廣雅/广雅|p=Guǎngyǎ|w=Kuang Ya; "Expanded " [Er] ya") was an early 3rd century CE Chinese dictionary, edited by Zhang Yi (張揖; Chang I; fl. 227-232) during the Three Kingdoms period. It was later called the "Boya" (博雅; "Bóyǎ"; "Po-ya"; "Broadened [Er] ya") owing to naming taboo on Yang Guang (楊廣), which was the birth name of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Zhang Yi wrote the "Guangya" as a supplement to the centuries older "Erya" dictionary. He used the same 19 chapter divisions into lexical categories, and numerous "Guangya" entries are abstract words under the first three chapters "Shigu" (釋詁 "Explaining Old Words"), "Shiyan" (釋言 "Explaining Words"), and "Shixun" (釋訓 "Explaining Instructions").

The Qing Dynasty philologist Wang Niansun spent a decade studying this dictionary, and his "Guangya shuzheng" (廣雅疏證 "Guangya" Annotations and Proofs") is still considered the authoritative edition, in which he demonstrated the important philological principle of "looking for the ancient meaning by considering the ancient sound ... not constrained by the structure of the character" (就古音以求古義......不限形體). His preface notes the "Guangya" has 2343 entries and a total of 18,150 characters (the received text has 17,326), including corrections and emendations, which is about 5000 more than the received "Erya". The linguist Zhou Fagao edited an index (1977) to the "Guangya".
